We understand that caring for a loved one is a personal journey, and not everyone connects with the term ‘caregiver.’ That’s why, in our materials, we sometimes use other words like ‘care partner’ or ‘someone who cares for a loved one.’ Depending on the resource, different terms are used to describe individuals in similar roles.
Our idea of a caregiver includes someone who regularly or irregularly supports and helps loved ones in their daily lives. This can be hard, with many challenges, but it’s driven by love and dedication.
If you need clarification on whether these words describe you, or if you have questions, please feel free to contact us. We’re here to help you on your caring journey and provide the support and advice you need.
